(link fixed, but i'm not hosting this file, so if it got deleted you just google for the file name, i saw many site provide the download links)

Newer version: v6.14.10.4497 - DownloadFix resolution 1200 x 800
Able to run latest Intel Extreme 2 System Tray - as reported by anonymous
.
2. here files is in zip format, you need to extract it, i suggest for beginner to make your work easier, make a folder in desktop named intel graphic (right click on desktop and select new folder, type Intel Graphic)

3. Paste the driver you download on the Intel Graphic folder you just created, right click on the Intel_6_14_10_3722.zip you extracted and select extract here, it should look like this: (NOTE;: please remember where you extract the driver, you will need it later)

proceed to part 2.

PART 2: UNINSTALL CURRENT DRIVERS

1. If you already installed other driver and failed (if you don't skip part 2), you will find yellow mark on the device manager, right click on it and select uninstall. Your Device Manager should say that you have Standard VGA Driver installed under Display category and exclamation mark on "video controller". Make sure you restart PC when asked.

PART 3: EDIT c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys

1.Click 'Start' and in 'Search' type 'cmd'. The result will show on top. Right-click on 'cmd' and choose "Run as Administrator". If your account does not have admin rights you might be prompted to enter username and password. I used account that already has administrator privileges.

2. The type or copy/paste the following line (pics below):

takeown /f c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys

3. Press enter and the result will be success etc, refer to picture above. (the username are differ so your line might differ from the screenshoot)

4. Then type or copy and paste this line:cacls c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys /G peter:F

IMPOTANT: at line above you must replace!! peter with your computer name, how to check your computer name, click start and note under the pictures it show your pc name, look at the picture below:

above note my pc name is ajis

so my line will be

cacls c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys /G ajis:F

, after that type it on your cmd (look at pics below after press enter

There will be a confirmation message so type 'y'

PART 4: EDIT c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys

1. Open c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys right click and select open or open with.

2. choose second option on the radio button "select program from a list of installed programs "

3. then select notepad

4. Just add any character to the begining of the text. Let's say we will add character x . So the text should start with xMZ and the rest of stuff. Save the file. This edit will render that file unusable.

example before we add text it should look like this:

after adding text it should look like this

PART5: FINAL STEP

1.First open device manager by click start and type devmgmt.msc as shown in the pictures below.

2. In Device Manager uninstall Standard VGA Adapter.

3. It will prompt you to restart so do it.

4.After install you will see a message saying that certain devices did NOT installed successfuly, which is GOOD :).

5.Go to Device Manager and you should see the exclamation point next to "video controller" and "video controller (vga compatible)". Right-click on "video controller (vga compatible)" and SELECT update driver.

6.Choose "Browse my computer for the Driver Software" .

7. Then select browse:

8. Then notice that in part 1 i suggest you extract the driver in new folder (folder name: intel graphic). After click browse point to the folder. expand by click the small arrow button until you find the win2000.

9. Wait for the driver to be installed. It might hang for a little (It will say that window is "not responding"). Do not worry as this is still installing the driver. It will prompt you to restart so do it. (If it does not prompt click anywhere and wait for message). After restart it will finish installing the driver.

10. Open c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys in any text editor. Remove the first character you put there which was x. Save the file. it should look like this before saving it (MZ - ignore other character)

Your file will be usuable again :). You can stop here if you want, but if you want to restore the permissions for the file to original state:

Right-click on any other file in the c:\windows\system32\drivers. Choose "Properties". Go to "Security" tab. Now compare that security tab with the security tab of c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys. Just make sure the security tabs of those two files look the same (all tabs and advanced options). In order to add "TrustedInstaller" it is not the same as regular usernames because it is a service.
You will need to type "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller" (without quotes) when adding it to own the file and to have all permissions. Once you done editing you can delete your account from c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys, because it was not there from the beginning. We took control over and the previous commands added it by default.

I followed all your instructions but I always get a an "access denied" message when I try to save the vgapnp.sys file. But, using your idea (thanx, btw) I copied the file on my desktop, renamed it "vgapnp.txt" and edited it. Then I booted my computer using Bart's PE disc and copy/pasted the edited file after renaming it back to "vgapnp.sys" to c:\windows\system32\drivers thereby replacing the original file. then the miracle happened.

Hi My master, I work in computer field and I surfed the net since 1994. I did not post any comment till now - usually i do not send - but ur brilliant illustration and great way of handling the problem in a genius manner forced me to stop and take off my hat for you. REALLY you are professional I hope to contact you. may I will have something great for you.

mr black-x;hi sirplease sir can you make it work with the new driver of 82852/82855 for win7the old driver version is ver: 6.14.10.3722the new driver version is ver:6.14.10.4497the new version will help anyone to use open GL in gamesmr black-x sirthanksGod bless you

mr black-xhi sirI tried using the driver ver:6.14.10.4497using the method above but it did not workthe method above it is only work with the driver ver:6.14.10.3722 that in your blog I even tried the same driver ver:6.14.10.372 but from microsoft site using the method above but it did not work.so I think the driver ver:6.14.10.3722that in your blog is modified drivermr black-x sirthanksGod bless you

This is Sanjeev, back again on the forum, however this time with a different querry...m not sure if this is the blog that I can get it answered...nonetheless, I wanted to know, if it is possible to upgrade either the "processor" or the "graphic adapter" for compaq presario v2000 laptop.

Hi sanjeev,For processor yes you can upgrade but so far only from 1.6Ghz processor upgrade to 1.8Ghz success, i don't know if you can upgrade it to 2.0 or 2.2Ghz, and maybe it require BIOS upgrade/tweak, just make sure the you use the same processor socket(so far from my experience it use 754 sockets). if you decide to upgrade it, i suggest talk with any guy from the repair shop first, it may help you to decide, normally i only upgrade processor for desktop, from 1.6 to 1.8, no significant increase of performance.for graphic i afraid no but doesn,t mean you cant, if i get more information ill let you know, that all i can share for now

you are welcome sanjeev, the repair guy should have experience with this stuff, even by theories you can upgrade but there are many things to consider first. Here at my place i didn't do any upgrade without help from the support center, example for the graphic, i will talk to many repair center guy then i decide after i satisfied with the info i get.

Great! Your fix worked on a 6 yr old Dell Inspiron 1150 .... even though it says on the Dell website that model is not capable of running Win7. Our 1150 laptop is now running Win7 with 1GB of RAM, a 2.8GHz 'processor, and super clear graphics - thanks to your fix. Nice work.

I'm sorry for this.. but i still have a question.. i cant understand the last part.. this -> In order to add "TrustedInstaller" it is not the same as regular usernames because it is a service. You will need to type "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller" (without quotes) when adding it to own the file and to have all permissions.

Well for the trusted installer i will try it update it at the post with pictures, but if you are using compaq laptop there are easier way to do that, just mention your laptop model and ill provide the drivers

Wow.. It works like a charm! you are a life saver sir. Two Thumbs up for you... I also have (1) problem on my Mass Storage Controller. I have Lg xnote Ls40a I need to install it. but I'am not fortunate to have it. maybe you can help me to resolve my problem.Thanks in Advance and More Power.. God Bless

I follow your instructions but when I select the win2000 and click "ok" the system search and then send me a message that they couldnt install VGA driver ... I dont understand these ... help me please !!

I've managed to get the Intel 6.14.10.4497 working on a Toshiba M100 with 82855GM graphics running Windows 7 SP1. I didn't use this method of disabling vgapnp.sys

Instead, after installing - I also 'reinjected' the drivers on shutdown -before reboot into Windows/system32/drivers by using Paragon 2011 Hard Disk Manager WinPE Boot Disk: Tools->Transfer Files. This allows you to bypass the TrustedInstaller Status.The method which worked used a combo/hybrid driver- configuration files from 6.14.10.3722 and driver files from 6.14.10.4497.The newer Desktop icon 'Intel Extreme Graphics 2 for Mobile' also works properly.When installing 6.14.10.4497, there is also a 'bug' workaround required, the machine must be set up with region settings set to 'US', UK settings cause a error 'string request not found' in the driver on install. (You can switch region settings back once driver is installed)

I haven't worked out exactly which files are/aren't required, but the solution of combining latest driver files with the configuration files of the earlier driver does work.

The method I used was eliminating all common files to start with (one's which were identical between the new and older drivers), then transfering groups of files into the old driver until it worked.

It does seem faster than 6.14.10.3722.

Also fixed the sdcard problem on the Toshiba Portege M100 by injecting the older Vista Driver, so all drivers are the latest, and now work.

hello bro..i'm using hp pavillion dv1000.i follow all ur instruction and driver still cant be installed.i notice someting difrent which is when i try to edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sythat vgapnp.sys has a pic like key.but still i can open it using notepad to add 1 character like x that u mention.but when i save it its not being unstable like u said.its just be normal..what is my problem..hope u can help me..

Before I try the procedure, I woudl like to be sure that it would apply to the Intel® 82815 Graphics Controller which is installed on my Laptop SONY PCG FX370P.When using Windows XP I can configure the display in 1024x768 64K colors but with Windows 7 I am limited to 640x480 when I want 64K colors.Thank's ahead for your answer,

Im not sure with 64, coz i never try it, btw to safely follow the procedure without damaging any of your system file, just make restore point before the procedure, say if it fail just perform system restore.

Hello,I worked at it several hours yesterday .... No success ! I did manage to access the file vgapnp.sys and modify it in the directory Windows\system32\drivers but after the following steps and restart of my system it looks like the system looked for that file evrywhere and ...found it !I noticed that there are 2 other occurences of that file :one in directory windows\winsxsoe in windows\system32\driver store\Filerepository\display.inf8x86....Probably the system scans these directories and copy the file ?What if I remove all occurences of this file after saving it on a different drive not scanned by the system ? I'll let you know.Henri

you can modify/change or remove files as long as you make restore point and backup for the files, I'm at hometown for almost 2 month now and will be back to the city in next 2 month (long vacation) so i dun have laptop with same specs for my references regarding your problem, but ill try to assist as much as i can

THank's for your offer of assistance. But, unfortunately I guess ther is nos chance ! I managed to get thru the correct process eliminating all teh occurences of the file vgapnp.sys and reached the point when the system asked me to install the driver from the Win2000 directory .... It started by stopped saying there was some incommpatibility (SE Process not supported ?). I guess that it figured that the graphic card was not the one compatible with the software. So I went back to the previous restoration point which is not great because I have onmy a very small screen in 640x480 ! However I also kept a version of XP on teh same machine and with it the dsiplay is OK. TTime to get rid of this old stuff !Thank's again for your help,

Well, everything works fine with my tablet T4010d except the fact that I can not rotate screen.There is no option for orientation in screen properties, when I try to rotate through windows mobile centre nothing happens.Driver is updated with 6.14.10.3741, I also make a registry correction in display 1 but nothing.I will be very grateful if somebody could share solution with me.Also thanks to all people sharing information on this page.Vorda

@Anis,I think there something wrong with your system, I strongly recomend to Reformat and Reinstall windows and start to nstall the drivers again, to amek thing easy, PM e at kyoajis@gamil.com after you format, ill assist you with the graphic installation. But if your graphic work fine (mean smooth) and you can get MAX resolution means it OK and ignore the device manager status. (note that u cant enable aero with this graphic chip.)

thanks for the procedure it did work but half of it.as the driver that worked for me is 6.14.10.4497but after sucessfully installing and using it, after restart my laptop does not find the driver so again i update the diver and again it install it(also it doesnt ask for restart).i even tried to restore the security settings of vgapnp.sys .but is of no help as it installs on the restart "vga driver" but not the "video controller"can u suggest something how to not to lose the driver everytime i shutdown my computer(no hibernation)it would be of great help man.thanks

try this, but im not sure of it, theres a way to prvent computer to revert back to standard VGA, this happen to some laptop recently and i fogot how i did it, but ill try to remmeber it and post here, btw try this frist:

Go to Start–>Search type in gpedit.mscClick the file to open the Local Group Policy Editor and show Windows who is in control!!You want to go here: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Device Installation. Click on the subfolder Device Installation on the left and on the right side you will see the possible restrictions.Right Click on Prevent Installation of Devices not described by other policy settings and edit this option, set it on ENABLED.Reboot Windows and enjoy its inability to pollute your system with its standard driver, open gpedit.msc again and revert the change so you will be able to install your driver.

thanks for the reply man ,but it did not work.after using procedureas soon as i restart ,after successfully installing the driver, no driver found pops up.is there something it had to do with the "vgapnp.sys" security settings.by the way i appreciate that u replied so fast thanks for that too man

this happened to others too and maybe it does have things to do with the vgapnp.sys, this method itself created to prevent windows to revert back to standard VGA after installation.btwHow about try this procedure in SAFE MODE, to log into safe mode, restart and when post screen show (say DELL/HP etc) press F8 repeatedly until you get the multi boot OS choice, select SAFE MODE and perform the method above.

hey man i finally got it working,i did two things :-changed the driver verion to 6.14.10.4704and disable driver signing permanently by typing this in an elevated command prompt;

bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

restart then update the driver in compatibility mode along with admin permissions.and after restart the driver was working smoothly.although i wanna tell u that in the past i gave up to install the driverbut this blog of yours encouraged me that there must be a way to install the driver.so all credit and thanks goes to u.a real thanks to u man :)

Hello Black - I followed your instructions and everythingwas just as you said it should be but my screen doesn't rotate. Is there anything I can do to ensure I have implemented your instructions correctly. I have a Gateway M250. It was OK with XP tablet but I upgraded to Windows 7 and that's when I lost the rotation

This is the best illustrated guide for the driver replacement in win7. Could the forum guide me if the same process can be successfully implemented in win 8.( for the same intel display drivers- 82852/82855-)There the standard vga is called "basicdisplay.sys" in the place of vgapnp.sys in win7

I never test it yet with windows 8, maybe you can implement the same method by using the basicdisplay.sys, or maybe not.just make sure to make restore point before anything else. Ill try to find any laptop with the 82852 and test it with windows 8, ill update as soon as possible

You need to install it again, but first we need to make your computer back to the original swtate before u modified it.

To do that after restart press F8 and select safe mode, then perform system restore, note that i never tested in windows 8 and maybe there are several changes have been made and this method isn't compatible wif the OS

Hi,this is the only solution I've seen yet after a long time of searching.I'm enormously thankful for it but ...It can probably be simplified!Try these steps ...1. Download the zip-file mentioned above.2. Unzip it to a directory.3. In Windows through the Device Manager uninstall the Display's driver,and don't restart.4. In the Device Manager install the Display driver by pointing to the directory in step 2.5. Restart your computer.6. Windows will find new hardware (the display) and install its driver (from step 4).7. The display will now or after a second restart acknowledge new display settings.DONE!Best regards

DellD400JJThanks for the feedback, and it is what others need right now, and i know the method above quite complicated and hope your solution work wif others too, i'll update the post and thanks for the feedback =)

the only problem is this driver still not support direct x for graphic acceleration,even the newer version 6.14.10.3929,or maybe my old notebook did not meet the memory minimum requirement,it's 512MB instead of 1GB.

That (!) normally refer to incompatible driver. BUT i want you to remember that this tutorial intend to make the Intel 82525/85525 GME get max resolution. From the pic i saw your pc already have max resolution so ignore the (!) it will do no harm. Sometime in some cases i disable one of the VGA (dual VGA) marked with (!).

the (!) on the bluetooth means your bluetooth will not work properly so you need to install bluetooth driver.

Since this happened to me before, i notice that the certain video format require CERTAIN codecs to play such as RMVB format. The other thing that may cause this is there are too many codecs installed with different configurations. For now i suggest:open vlc go to preferences>video>output module then check advanced options and then change the module to opengl In my computer after formating i install this codec according to order : mcpstar - kmp - real one - vlc.

this graphic didn't support aero directly, i mean the architecture itself did not support aero in win 7, BUT virtually aero = yes. Install third party aero software, for example go to www.softpedia.com and search for AERO. try which software work best, i didn't test it yet but a user report it worked.

Right-click on any other file in the c:\windows\system32\drivers. Choose "Properties". Go to "Security" tab. Now compare that security tab with the security tab of c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys. Just make sure the security tabs of those two files look the same (all tabs and advanced options). In order to add "TrustedInstaller" it is not the same as regular usernames because it is a service.You will need to type "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller" (without quotes) when adding it to own the file and to have all permissions. Once you done editing you can delete your account from c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys, because it was not there from the beginning. We took control over and the previous commands added it by default.

As the author of the original guide I would like to thank Black X on further explaining my guide. One thing I should point is to use 6.14.10.3732 driver instead of 6.14.10.3722. The 6.14.10.3732 driver has sleep mode fixed and stuttering media play fix.

can u plz help me.i follows all your step but in the last step where i will browse the driver, when i select it and click next, is telling me "windows was unable to install your video controller (vga compatible) please what am i gonna do to fix it?

Black-x, many, many thanks to you for all your work making Lexxion's instructions SO much easier to follow...your attention to detail in this tutorial is awesome, and just what I needed (I'm unclear about working commands/DOS)!

One thing I might add is that in Step 2, if you've got a bad driver loaded already, make sure to check the box that says "Delete the driver software for this device" in order to get the exclamation mark to appear; otherwise, it just keeps reinstalling upon every reboot.

Again though, thanks for such a through tutorial...I really appreciate it.

There are some Pic i cannot add since i dun have any model using this graphic chipset, if you notice that there are some missing pic (other than u mentioned) since i just add the screenshot with my desktop (using ati) - But if u or others here have the sreenshot, do mail me and i add it here.btw thanks for the feedback =)

To those having issues with movies on VLC players such as stuttering and lack of smooth video, try switching video output to "Direct X (Direct Draw) video feed" option.

My video was terrible, and I had even tried the Open GL selection suggestion as noted above by Black-x, but it was no better. I then read where this chipset doesn't(perhaps fully) support Direct X, and I think this selection (Directx/Direct Draw) must intercede to correct the issue. And if that doesn't work, I'd experiment with the different outputs before giving up on the VLC player...it really is one of the best.

Unfortunately didnt work for me, got up to step 8 but it said that couldnt find the correct driver for my hardware ..! I had to do a system restore to undo all the changes :( Now i am stuck forever with a lousy graphic card with no driver..!!!! My computer is an hp pavilion dv1000.

leave your email here, or email me at kyoajis@gmail.com.get the hardware ID for your graphic and note that in the back of the laptop there is small sticker. You will find the exact model for V2000 such as v2404Tu etc.email those info to me

GOT IT WORKING on my ACER TRAVELMATE 4002 WLMiat a display resolution of 1280X800 (native for me widescreen display) BUT... it doesnt stick, after every reboot, i have to do the device manager>update driver againwhat am i missing ???

!!!!!!!REMINDER!!!!!!!!As the author of the original guide I would like to thank Black X on further explaining my guide. One thing I should point is to use 6.14.10.3732 driver instead of 6.14.10.3722. The 6.14.10.3732 driver has sleep mode fixed and stuttering media play fix. The download for 6.14.10.3732 is on my website.

Please give some update for windows 8. I am in deep trouble as I recently installed win 8 and it is freezing my ThinkPad R51 intermittently due to the video controller driver I guess. Thanks in advance.

1. Download and extract it using winrar. (dun run to install.2. Open device manager and right click on standard VGA select update driver.3. Select browse my computer for device driver.4. Click browse and point to extracted driver folder.5. continue with on screen till installation finish.

I tried the same steps with the drivers from the above link. But the same result.

However, I am relieved that though the driver is not installed, the problem of windows freezing is now solved by using the following workaroundhttp://www.withinwindows.com/2012/06/28/workaround-for-windows-8-freezing-issues/

I will be still looking for the driver though. Thanks a lot for your help.

installing wrong graphic driver may cause blue screen or freezing, i forgot to mention that if we are going to install driver which not from the manufacture, first we must make restore point so every time there's something wrong you can restore your computer to the earlier state.

The freezing problem reappeared even when dynamic clock tick is disabled as suggested in the work-around. Also I found out that VLC / media player do not work most of the time. So it seems that I must install a driver for the graphics card.

Dear magic guy. I have unsuccessfully attempted this feat. I have a Toshiba Satellite r10 with this chipset. It seems my issue is that it will not 'find' any device drivers. i merely unzipped the driver in my downloads and tried to find them there to no avail. my email is letsworkunlimited@gmail.com thanks ahead of time

Hi Man, thanks for the guide!I have a problem at point 5.9 : after the reboot of windows7 , the driver installation failed! All the steps before were fine! Now on device manager i have no "video controller" or "video controller (vga compatible)" or "Display adapters".. any idea of what was wrong?Thanks for the help!

mine is an old asus a3n series notebook pc. I tried the drivers provided by asus however after reboot windows says drivers could not be installed. I aplied your solution step by step still same, except one thing: it does not install standard graphics adapter after reboot.

i follows all your step but in the last step where i will browse the driver, when i select it and click next, is telling me "windows was unable to install your video controller (vga compatible) please what am i gonna do to fix it? my computer model is hp dv1000.

Extract it using winraropen device manager - right click on standard VGA - update driver - browse - click on browse and point to the extracted driver folder. continue until installation finish and reboot
